WATER POLO. CARDIFF Y.M.C.A. V. SWANSEA Y M.C.Á. I Great interest was centred in this match between these branches of the Young Men's Christian Association, which was played at Swansea on Wednesday evening. Swansea attacked the deep end, and immediately scored through Francis. The advantage was not held long, however, for shortly afterwards Smith equalised for the Cardiffians. Nothing further was scored till half-time. On the change of ends Cardiff were soon attacking, and as the result of several bouts of passing Smith was enabled to score on three occa- sions, the match thus ending in a win for Cardiff by four goals to one. After the game both teams adjourned to a supper provided by the Swansea team. SWANSEA V. NEWPORT. At the Swansea Baths last night, the Swansea Polo Team again proved its title to the champion- ship of Wales by defeating the representatives of Newport. A great interest was centred in the match, and a good game was looked forward to, the following being the teams:— NEWPORT.—Goal, E. C. Lane; backs, J. Brickley and W. E. Freeguard; half-back, H. J. Herbert (capt.) forwards, C. Davies, W. I H. Thompson, and R. J. B. Dickson. SWANSEA.—Goal, H. Mills; backs, D. Suther- land and G. Jones; half-back, J. Rowan; for- wards. W. Doherty (oapt.), T. Francis and H. Russel. Both sides were folly represented, but in the water Newport were out-classed at all points of the game. They seem to have entirely lost their splendid form of a season or two ago. The game was of a one-sided character throughout. Russell started the scoring for Swansea soon after the start, and Doherty added four, Russell another two, Francis three and Rowan one, the home team winning the match after a disappointingly- easy game by 11 goals to nil. Where the game was of so one-sided a character it is impossible to select for special mention individual players. Swansea had a soft thing on, and their play was not particularly brilliant.

THE PONTARDULAIS "MAD" DOG.—The Board of Agriculture is pursuing the inquiry into the career of the aupposed mad dog which bit so many children at Pontardulais three weeks ago. The owner cannot be found, but the dog's course before it was killed has been traced for twenty miles, and what is worse it has been dis- covered that it bit a large number of dogs. Eighteen of these have been since destroyed, and ten other dogs, said to have been bitten, are under surveillanoe. The children bitten are now under the Pasteur treatment.

The signatures of the owners of nearly 300 mills have already been secured. There are several important out- standing questions bearing upon the relationship between employer and workman which need con- sideration. In all probability a joint conference will be held within a few weeks. The steel manu- facturers will probably next Tuesday hold a con- ference with Mr. John Hodge with reference to the demand of the steel workers for an increased wage. The men have reason to believe that the masters will make offers, but not to the extent of the advance asked for. A PLUCKY YOUTH.—About six o'clock on Saturday evening, whilst a eigbt-year-oldboy named Frederick Roberts, of 2, Baker-street, was playing near the Corporation Wharf, he fell into the water, Thomas Georgre Richards, aged 13. residing at 23, Sebastopol-street, saw the accident, and without any hesitation he pluckily took a rather dangerous leap into a boat lying alongside the wharf. He got hold of Roberts, and managed to hold him 11 until assistance i arrived. The youngster was little the worse for hia immersion. THE BRIGHTON.—For the usual weekly list of excursions by the popular passenger steam- ship Brighton, please see advertisement column. ANNUAL OUTING.—On Tuesday, the inmates of the Swansea Blind Institution, numbering 84, had their annual outing. Sir John Llewelyn, Bart., M.P.. kindly placed his park at the disposal of th& party, who were accompanied by Mr. Joseph Hall (hon. secretary), the matron (Mias Highmore), and the teachers. Several of the tradesmen of the town sent contributions, and the outing was much enjoyed. DEATH OF THE BISHOP OF ST. ASAPH'S BROTHER.—The death is announced of the Rev. W. J. Edwards, son of the late Vicar of Llan- gollen, and the last surviving brother of the Bishop of St. Asaph. He died on Monday night at Llandow Rectory, in the Diocese of Llandaff. He was appointed to that living by his college 44 years ago. He was a scholar of Jesus College, and a Powis exhibitioner.

Deceased, who had been ailing for a long time, passed peacefully away at his mother's residence, Dorset House, Langland Bay, early on Sunday morning last, at the early age of 21 years. He was a promis- ing young man, and his untimely death is a sad bereavement to his mother, a widow, with whom much sympathy is felt. The funeral took place at the Mumbles Cemetery on Wednesday after. noon, the Rev. S. C. Pinch officiating. RAILWAY EXCURSIONS.—In our advertisiag columns will be found particnlars of exeursians to be run by the London and No th Western Railway on Friday, September 1st, to the North of England, the Lake District and the North Wales Coast. ELECTRIC LIGHTING.—EXCESSIVE TENDERS. —The delay in proceeding with the work of lay- ing down the plant for the electric lighting of Swansea can now be explained. It appears that the delay is due to what is believed to be the excessive amounts set forth in the tenders. Four tenders have been received by the Electric Lighting Committee, but the lowest of them fixes an amount at between £i5,000 and £20,000. The committee consider this to be a larger expenditure than they anticipated, and they have, therefore, referred the tenders to Mr. Manville for report. DEATH OF A SWANSEA CENTENARIAN.—There has just died at the Swansea workhouse an inmate of 100 years of age. His name was William Thomas, well known as Billy Doras," and was quite a character in his way. He died at three o'clock on Monday morning from old age. In his aotive days ha was a prominent figure about the local quaysides, making a living by hauling. He was also known as a killer of calves at the slaughter-houses, and a dog's tail docker. The deceased has a daughter in the worshouse 70 years of age, and his son, aged 62, was discharged from the workhouse on Monday morning.—Another old native of Swansea, Annie Thomas, died at the workhouse recently in her 90th year. SWANSEA HOSPITAL.—A special meeting of the Governors of the Swansea Hospital was convened for Wednesday afternoon, for the purpose of confirming, or otherwise, the following resolution passed at the annual general meeting: —" That £1,000 be placed at the disposal of the Board of Management, for extending the heating of the Hospital, and tbat the permission of the annual meeting be asked to provide this amount, in addtion to £1.500 due on the Building Account, out of Capital." There were present Colonel Morgan, Aid. Howel Watkins, Mr. Dd. Meager, Mr. S. Goldberg, Mr. Hyam Goldberg, Dr. W. F. Brook, Dr. D. Arthur Davies, Dr. Nelson Jones, Mrs. M. Williams, Mrs. Rosabelle Joseph, and the Matron (Miss Rigney). The meeting was convened for 4 p.m., but at that hour a quorum had not arrived and, after waiting for half-an- hour, it was decided to adjourn the meeting until Wednesday, September 13th, at 12 o'clock. QUOITS.—SWANSEA AND DISTRICT (LIGHT QUOITS) CHALLENGE SHIELD. — The return match between Windsor (Swansea) and Crofty took place on Saturday last at Crofty. The strong wind which prevailed prevented a good display of pitching. Crofty won by 25 points- the score being 140 to 165.P«NCLAWDD v. BRYN, MILL.—This match was played on the latter's ground, the visitors winning by 11 points, or 144 to 133.—The fixture between Neath and Waunar- Iwydd was not played. Neath were unable to at. tend, consequently Waunarhvydd claim two points. The following is the League table to date:—Windsor: Played 7, won 6, lost 1, points 12 Crofty: 6, 5, 1,-10 pts.; Waunarlwydd, 7,3,4,-6 pts.; Brynmill: 6, 2, 4,—4 pts.; Pen- ch*wdd 6, 2, 4,—4 pts.; Neath 5. 2,3,-4 pts. THE THREATENED MINERS' STRIKE.—At- tempts are being made to bring about a joint conference with a view of obviating the threat- ened strike of western miners. The conference, it is confidently hoped, wiil be successful. On Wednesday Col. Wilkinson, Monmouth; Mr J. Jenkins, J.P.. Ocean Collieries and Messrs. T. Richards and Daronwy Isaac, the arbitrators ap- pointed to deal with the Garngoch and Gorseinon Collieries disputes, met at Messra. Cory Yeo's Offices, Swansea. The sitting lasted from 11.30 to 7.30. We understand that the case of the Gorseinon Colliery was advanced a great length. Evidence on both sides having been tendered, it was agreed that Col. Wilkinson and Messrs. J. Jenkins, J.P J. Gla-brook, Daronwy Isaac, T. Richards and J. Williams visit Gorseinon and in- spect the seam concerned in dispute on Friday. It has not yet been decided when the next sitting will take place. THE TINPLATE TRADE AND THE DROUGHT.— The continued drought, besides making it impossible for millmen to put in their full work has stopped a number of mills throughout the trade. At Llanelly considerable difficulty is experienced, and at Briton Ferry the Baglan Bay Works is idle, and only three mills out of six are I at work in the Villiers Works. The supply to the Cwmbwrla Tinplate Works at Swansea is also getting seriously short, and negotiations are in progress for obtaining the water from Mr. Philip Richard, whose Weig Colliery has, since its recent flooding, drained the old workings from which the Cwmbwrla Tinplate Works formerly pumped its supply durine periods of scarcity. Boy DROWNED AT SWANSEA. — On Sunday evening a nnmber of boys were playing about the West Pier. About 8.30 they went underneath, and as a nine-year-old boy named Walter Morgan was attempting to walk along the 'narrow baulks at the side of the commencement of the pier, he slipped and fell into the water. His companions at once rushed away with the news, and the Dock police were informed of the affair. Dook- oonstables Francis, Tasker and Taylor, with the aid of grappling irons, searched for the lad, but through not knowing the exact plaoe where he had fallen into the water, their efforta were an. successful. Meanwhile, however, a man named Arthur Lewis, of Clifton Hill, had obtained more accurate information, and going into the water, he brought the body to the surface. Amidst a scene of great excitement it was conveyed to the mortuary, whilst Sergeant Couoh informed the lad's mother, a widow living at Sloane-street, of the sad fatality.—An inquest was held on Monday afternoon at the Tunnel Hotel, Evidence of identification was given by Harold Morgan, 25, Langdon-plaoe, a married brother of the deceased. Dr. Wm. Morgan, of Adelaide-street, said he saw the body on the am- bulanoe. Life was extinct. The doctor pointed out that there waa a considerable amount of unpleasantness respecting the body being taken to the mortuary. He himself had heard two wrong addre-ses given, and he thought it would be a highly improper thing to carry a corpse up throuerh the crowded streets on a Sunday evening, and then to discover that it was taken to the wrong bouse. The Coroner, in summing up, said the pier-head was a very dangerous place to make a playground of, and the authorities should see it was carefully watched. With regard to the un- pleasantness referred to by Dr. Morgan, he said the mortuary was the nearest place, and it would be better that the body should be conveyed there than taken to the wrong address, where a con- siderable amount of inconvenience would naturally be causpd.—The jury returned a verdict of acci- dental death, the foreman observing that a po- liceman should be stationed at the pier, as in the old days.

NEATH. NOTES AND NEWS. [BY NUNQUAMJ. Neath people have been described by a visitor as perpetual grumblers. They may be something of the kind. And no wonder, when one looks back upon the list of blunders which have cost the ratepayers so much money. The new reservoir is the latest triumph of the Corporation. I wonder if they bad been spending their own money would they have conducted a more searching investigation before plunging into a speculation" involving the expenditure of over £30,000. I don't think that anyone is very delighted with the new motor oars, which have just arrived at Neath. Althongh they have not yet entered upon active senio they have had a couple of trial trips. The vibration when the cars Ilr not being propelled is most disagreeable, while inside the smell of the ga is far from pleasant. Tbe groniing and groaning when a hill it being ascended is worse than a hand organ out of tune. I am told on good authority that a oompany is being formed locally for the running of road motor cars as at Swansea. In the event of this becoming aw fait accompli, serious financial injury will be done to the company who have obtaiued the lease from the Corporation. The latter have made a big mistake. They should have gone in for an electric car service. I On Wednesday a pretty wedding was solemnised at the Church of St. John, Neath Abbey. The bride, Miss Helena Price, is the daughter of Mr. C. S. Price, a member of the Neath Guardians and of the Rural District Council, and the bride- groom, the Rev. J. Hanson, M.A., Oxon., of Reading. The clergy who officiated were the Rev. T. C. Phillips, M.A., Vicar of Skewen, the Rev. J. How. Thomas, M.A., Vicar of Aberpergwm, and the Rev. C. T. Diment, M A., Chaplain of Leeds Clergy Sehool. The service which was impressively performed, was fully choral. Quite a holiday was observed in the village. Long before 2.30 p.m.-the tima fixed for the wedding—the streets approaching to the churoh were lined with eager and interested spectators. Flags and e rergreens were the prevailing decorations, but here and there was a triumphal arch rudely constructed, yet withal picturesque. For the benefit of my lady readers I will attempt a description of some of the dresses. The bride, ho is beloved throughout the whole of the district for her charitable actions, was charmingly attiied in white satin, trimmed with Limerick lace and orange blossoms, with court train. She carried a beautiful shower bouquet of exotics, the gift of the bridegroom. The little pages in immediate attendance, Master Edney Price and Master Frank Dymond, wore court suits of white satin, and gold and pearl tie-pins, the gift of the bride. The little Misses Price, of Ynyslas, Glyn Neath, were the bridesmaids. They were prettily atLired in costumes of pale blue liberty silk, white chiffon, fichus, and white picture hats' They carried baskets of pale pink and white sweet peas, and wore gold-initialled double-heart brooches, the gifts of the bridegroom. After the wedding service, a reception was held at Bryn Derwen, the residence of the bride's father There was an exceptionally large number of presents of much value. Oh, I had almost forgotten. The happy pair have gone to North Wales for the honeymoon. The wefek has not produced anything of a. sensational nature. William Samuel, the elderly signalman who, it is alleged, broke into the Court Sart Railway Station, has been commilted by the county bench to the Quarter Sessions. —The nominations for seven seats on the Llautwit Lower School Board number eighteen, but I know there will be several withdrawals to- day. The only two old members who seek re- election are Mr. Edmund Law and Mr. David Rees. Among the new candidates I am glad to note the names of Dr. Whittington and Mr. W. H. David, solicitor. There should be no doubt as to their return.—At the Neath Brewster Sessions on Monday the landlady of the Apple Tree, in Elias-street, applied for a spirit license. She was represented by Mr. Lleufer Thomas, while the application was opposed by Mr. Ivor Bow en on behalf of Mrs. Love, landlady of the King's Arm3 Hotel, which is olose by. The application failed. BREWSTER SESSIONS.-MONDAY. On Monday the annual licensing sessions for the borough of Neath were held in the Gwyn Hall, before the Mayor (Councillor Jas. Glass), Alderman Charles. Messrs. Hopkin Jones, J. F. Daviea, D. T. Sims, C. S. Gardner, Thomas Teague, and F. J. Gibbins. The licenses for the sale of spirits and the beerhouse licenses applied for renewal were granted, and the sessions will stand adjourned for a fortnight to hear applications not disposed of. APPLICATION FOB SPIRIT LICENSE. An application was made by Mrs. Margaret Evans, owner and licensee of the Apple Tree Inn, situate in Elias-street, for a license to sell spirits, she at present holding an alehouse license. Mr. Lleufer Thomas (instructed by Messsr. R. P. Morgan and David) appeared for the applicant, and Mr. Ivor Bowen (instructed by Mr. A. J. Jeffreys) opposed on behalf of Mr. Charles Love, of the King's Arms, a neigh- bouring innkeeper. Mr. Lleufer Thomas explained that it was a free house which the applicant owned. Mr. J. C. Rees, architect, aaid the house was situated a few yards from the King's Arms, and 500 yards from the Farmer's Arms. There were 200 houses to be laid out on Mr. Pendril Charles' property. There was other adjacent land oapable of being developed for building purposes. Within about 50 yards there were five licensed houses, including the King's Arms, and the Windsor Hotel, which were double licensed.—Mrs. Uwguret £ varis,_ the I applicant, who had lived at the Apple Tree Inn, and previously for eleven years at the King's Arms, said the application was made owing to the incre,ing demand for spirits, and the near prospect of growing population.—A petition, signed by 114 inhabitants, was put in in favour of the applicant.—Mr. Bowen contended that the application must fall because of the lack of necessity for the license having been proved. He fully understood tbat this was only an applica- tion tor a provisional grant, but if the Bench complied, they would, in justice, grant the full license when the plans produced were carried out. It was only an attempt to participate in a trade which had been amply provided for by the opposing innkeeper.—The Bench retired, and on their return into court, announced that the application had been refused. THE TONNA SCHOOL BOARD.—The election for Heven seats on the now notorious Tonna School Board will take plaoe on September 5th. Some of the members who assisted to make that Board ridiculous in the eyes of the world offer themselves for re-election but the ratepayers have a fairly good selection, the following 18 names having been nominated W. H. Davies, Brynallt House, Neath, solicitor; Thomas Davies, 2, Bush-road, Melinorythan; John Gandy, 1, Walter-road, grocer; G. P. Gibbs, 4, Maesgwyn Villas, fitter; William Jenkins, St. Anne's-terrace, Tonna, roll turner; Evan Jones, Caehir, fitter; Edmund Law, Neath, financier; William Parker, 9, Mile End-row, Melinorythan, carpenter; E.

LLANRHIDIAN DEATH ANDFUNEB&LOFMRS. JENKINS. IHE lnciaA.OH, t We regret to record the death, at the age of 86, of Mrs. Jenkins, widow of the late Rev. Evan Jenkins, whioh took place on Thursday, in last week. Since the decease of her husband, who was Rector of Loughor for more than a quarter of a century. Mrs. Jenkins had resided at the Vicarage, Llanrhidian, for close upon five years. Up to the last the deceased lady enjoyed remark- ably good health, but owing to the failure of her lower limbs she rarely went out. She was of a kindly disposition and was highly esteemed by all with whom she came in contact. She leaves one daughter—Lady Buckley of Dinas Mawddwy. North Wales—and six orphan grandchildren, to mourn their loss. The funeral was held on Tuesday, the interment taking place in the Loughor Churchyard, in the family vault, where her late husband, her son, the late Dr. Jenkins of Gowerton and his wife and children—besides several other sons have been laid to rest. The funeral, which was private, was attended by Mr. R. Jenkins (nephew), four of the deceased's grandchildren, and her daughter-in-law, Colonel Wright, Mr. T. Jones, Gowerton, and Dr. Rawlings, Reynoldstone. The Rector of Loughor and the Vicar of Llanrhidian (Rev. W. Ungoed) officiated. The arrrangements were carried out by Mr. J. Jenkins, draper, of Gowerton.

BRITON FERRY. [By OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] A FATAL ACCIDENT. On Tuesday evening last a fatal accident oc- curred to George Perrett, the eleven-year-old son of Mr. George Perrett, Royal Oak, Hunter-street. It seems that a water cart was being driven by a lad named William Davies, and young Perrett was standing on the shafts holding on by the wooden plug whioh stops the water from over- flowing the cask, when the cart passed over a stone. The cart jerked, and the little boy, who pulled the plug out of the cask and lost his ba- lance, fell under the wheel, which passed over his chest. He died in a few seconds. The great- est sympathy is felt for his parents. It seems a matter of surprise that all the drills. of the G.A. Volunteers are held at Neath. Briton- ferry being head-quarters, it naturally occurs to some people to ask the reason why. One very prominent citizen suggested to enquirers that the officers, whose convenience only is considered in the matter, should have the sands and the range shifted to Neath or Skewen, thereby obviating the necessity of having head-quarters at Britonferry.

TREBOETH. CO-OPEEATIVE SOCIETY. The quarterly meeting of the Treboeth Co- operative Society was held last Saturday at the Treboeth Publio Hall. In the absence of the president, Mr. L. Thomas (who attended later on). the chair was taken by Mr. G. Mathia*. After reading and confirming the minutes of the previous meeting, the report and balance sheet was aubmitted to the meeting. The sales for the three months amounted to £1,614, and after pay- ing interest at the rate of 5 per oent. and all current expenses, a dividend at the rate of 2'in the £ was declared on members' purchases, and la. to non-members. A meeting at the branch, Cwm-Llansamlet, will be held on Saturday. The present membership is 335.

PONTARDAWE, lBY ORJFT OWN CORRESPONDENT]. DYNAMITE ACCIDENT. Daniel John Rees, residing at Craig-oefn-parc, met with a terrible accident while attempting to oatch fish by means of exploding a dynamite car- tridge in the water. How the accident actually happened is not known. The unfortunate fellow has had both arms amputated. One band waa blown clean off, and the other oompletelysmasbed. Dr. G. Griffiths, Pontardawe, and Dr. Havard Jones, Clydach, performed the operation. The latest enquiries show the patient is recovering favourably. VITRIOL ACCIDENT. At the Pontardawe Chemical Works, Georare Griffiths, Holly-street, was employed in the place of another man who was absent on account of illness, in removing out some vitriol carboys, when one burst. The vitriol spilled over his leg and filled his boot. Before the boot could be re- moved his foot was very badly burnt.
